The 2018 China (Qiandongnan) International Folk Song Choral Festival was held in Liping county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture, on July 28.
The festival's "world voice conference" of the International Federation for Choral Music brought together nine choirs from home and abroad, who sang under the Tiansheng Bridge on the Fulu River.
Located about 16 kilometers northeast of Liping, Tiansheng Bridge is the world's longest natural arched bridge with a history of over 100 million years. It is a popular scenic spot in the county.
